As part of our ongoing partnership with Royal Dutch Veal, Chef’s Roll hosted a cooking contest with 12 incredible chefs from around the country. At the beginning of September, each of the chefs received the product – some of the highest quality milk-fed veal in the world – and got to work.
The Grand Prize was a 10L Sitram pressure cooker, a one-of-a-kind NORA knife, and a Jende leather knife roll. The People’s Choice Prize was a Sitram stainless steel 18-10 skillet. Scroll below to see who won and all of the amazing veal dishes the chefs created!

Our judging panel chose this dish as the winner of the Grand Prize. It also received the most “votes” on Instagram to take home the People’s Choice Prize. Congratulations, Chef!
